Descriptions

Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. When decoding PNG images TensorFlow can produce a memory leak if the image is invalid. After calling `png::CommonInitDecode(..., &decode)`, the `decode` value contains allocated buffers which can only be freed by calling `png::CommonFreeDecode(&decode)`. However, several error case in the function implementation invoke the `OP_REQUIRES` macro which immediately terminates the execution of the function, without allowing for the memory free to occur. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

Tensorflow es un Marco de Aprendizaje Automático de Código Abierto. Cuando son decodificadas imágenes PNG TensorFlow puede producir una pérdida de memoria si la imagen no es válida. Después de llamar a "png::CommonInitDecode(..., &decode)", el valor de "decode" contiene buffers asignados que sólo pueden ser liberados llamando a "png::CommonFreeDecode(&decode)". Sin embargo, varios casos de error en la implementación de la función invocan la macro "OP_REQUIRES" que termina inmediatamente la ejecución de la función, sin permitir que se libere la memoria. La corrección será incluida en TensorFlow versión 2.8.0. También seleccionaremos este commit en TensorFlow versión 2.7.1, TensorFlow versión 2.6.3, y TensorFlow versión 2.5.3, ya que estos también están afectados y aún están en el rango admitido
